The day is over, and it was long but good.
More work got done on the poolside patios, but it got slowed down a bit because the Men spotted exposed rebar that happened when the workers chipped off the pool edges.
So, they made some concrete and fixed it. They even dug up some areas to check. I’m sure that didn’t go over well, but it will make the Pool of Dreams last longer.
I was impressed at how much work it took to build steps from one level to another. These are going to be STURDY. No corners are cut. And wow, they measured a lot.
There was more pounding, including a manual pounder for smaller spaces. This patio ain’t going nowhere.
We were happy to see drainage pipes in the retaining walls they’re building. Lee approved big time.
So, that was today. I worked a lot and then hugged all the horses. Ahh.
Enjoy more work in progress!

All the steps and walls start in a trench.

We had a beautiful sunset and moonrise to enjoy while feeding horses and planning future improvements. Ranch life is pretty good.
